This may defy logic, but I really enjoy the videos of your time with Lauren! It’s truly nice to see someone that was clearly a loyal and a hard worker actually be appreciated to the point that you’re willing to teach her the parts of the job everyone takes for granted. People need to realize that the easy play would’ve been to just close up shop after the move. No way this makes sense for just a few KZbin videos. Kudos!

Truthfully bidding cars in Florida sending it up isn't bad. Gives you a different quality cars that's more desirable rather than risk bidding a rusty pos. If anything it might help scaled the business even further in my eyes. Great vid! Keep it up you guys!

Gonna be spending extra 800 per car not only that you will be waiting for the car for up to a week because transport drivers lie constantly about there arrival day to get your business then now that your post sale inspection (auction warranty) is over and now your stuck with the car even if it has a blown engine/ bad trans

I am a car dealer. You walked past a 2012 or under Ford Escape in the video and said don't buy them or focuses. They all have Transmission problems. 2012 and under Escapes are super reliable ,besides rear shock tower and frame rust. And 2011 and under focuses are super reliable. Year Year Year. 2013 and up escapes and 2012 and up focuses have the junk Transmissions.

I love these auction videos! Back to what they should be. Buying, gambling, winning, losing, with all the fun and nightmare stories to go with them. It is funny that you keep telling people what not to do and you routinely do it anyway. You know the views increase with the humor of your misfortunes. You come out ahead anyway because of that.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't imagine leaving her in charge of buying auction cars. I understand new apprentices, but you have to have some basic knowledge and instincts. She has very little and can't even listen when you tell her a cap. Then she's looking around at nothing when you are trying to tell her something important. She should be taking notes, and how many times do you have to tell her to actually get down and look for rust or stop bidding? She might be good in the office, but you are really leaving your business in the hands of a kid that can't mask something and paint it without getting overspray everywhere, and this girl who is like a deer in the headlights. You were much better off with German. You really need to invest in someone solid for your continued business. You can blow stupid money and lose your shirt on so many cars but not get experienced staff??

A friend bought a 2007 Jeep Liberty Limited with a 3.7L V6 and four-speed automatic for work. He proceeded to put 330,000 miles on the Liberty until his boss told him to get a new vehicle, not because he ever broke down, which he did not, but because of the miles. He gave the Liberty to his seventeen-year-old son who still drives the Jeep without failures. My friend bought a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 3.6L V6 and eight-speed automatic, has 220,000 miles on the odometer and one repair, a water pump at 190,000 miles. He maintains his vehicles and they serve him right.
